Abstract

A mono-layer liquid phase type water-based insecticidal aerosol comprises (A) a base liquid for aerosol containing at least one specific pyrethroidal compound, a specific organic solvent and a buffer solution, which base liquid has a pH of from 7.0 to 9.0 and (B) dimethyl ether as a propellant. The aerosol according to the present invention has a long-term storage stability, as well as an excellent insecticidal activity and causes no degradiation of the container.

Description

The present invention relates to a mono-layer liquid phase type water-based insecticidal aerosol.
Recently, since water-based insecticidal aerosols can be averted from inflammability and toxicity to mammals, and since their manufacturing cost is relatively low, various developments have been forwarded on them.
However, most of the conventionally known water-based aerosols are the so-called two-layer liquid phase type water-based ones, that is, the liquid phase separates in two layers. Consequently, before the use of such aerosols, homogenizing the liquid phase by shaking is not avoidable.
To avoid the inconvenience, the so-called mono-layer liquid phase type water-based insecticidal aerosols have been developed. This type of aerosols can be prepared by dispersing an insecticidally active ingredient such as a pyrethroidal insecticidal compound in water with the aid of ethanol, etc. followed by blending thereto a propellant such as dimethyl ether, etc.
However, this type of insecticidal aerosols, when put to practical use, have serious problems that corrosion occurs on the inner wall of the aerosol container made of tinplate during the storage, which in turn causes the leak of the propellant gas, and that the effect of the aerosols is lowered by the decomposition of the insecticidal compound contained in the aerosols.
The present inventors have extensively studied to develop a mono-layer liquid phase type water-based insecticidal aerosol not causing such the problems, and as a result, have found that a mono-layer liquid phase type water-based insecticidal aerosol which comprises;
(A) a base liquid for aerosol containing as an insecticidally active ingredient at least one pyrethroidal compound selected from the following group I or a mixture of at least one pyrethroidal compound selected from the group I and at least one pyrethroidal compound selected from the following group II, an organic solvent selected from the following group III and a buffer for conditioning the pH of the base liquid from 7.0 to 9.0, and
(B) dimethyl ether as a propellant, can be suited to this object: Group I:
3-allyl-2-methyl-4-oxocyclopent-2-enyl chrysanthemate (allethrin),
2-methyl-4-oxo-3-propargylcyclopent-2-enyl chrysanthemate,
5-propargylfurfuryl chrysanthemate (furamethrin),
α-cyano-3-phenoxybenzyl chrysanthemate,
α-phenoxybenzyl 2,2,3,3-tetramethylcyclopropanecarboxylate (fenpropathrin) and
2-(4-ethoxyphenyl)-2-methylpropyl 3-phenoxybenzyl ether (ethofenprox);
Group II:
3-phenoxybenzyl 2,2-dimethyl-3-(2,2-dichlorovinyl)cyclopropanecarboxylate (permethrin),
3-phenoxybenzyl chrysanthemate (phenothrin),
5-benzyl-3-furylmethyl chrysanthemate (resmethrin),
1-ethynyl-2-methyl-2-pentenyl chrysanthemate,
2-(4-ethoxyphenyl)-5-(4-fluoro-3-phenoxy)-phenyl-2-methylpentane and
2-[1-methyl-2-(4-phenoxyphenoxy)ethoxy]-pyridine (pyriproxyfen);
Group III:
isopropyl alcohol,
n-propyl alcohol,
ethyl alcohol,
propylene glycol,
propylene glycol methyl ether,
dipropylene glycol methyl ether,
tripropylene glycol methyl ether and acetone.
The present inventors thus attained to the present invention.
The insecticidal aerosol of the present invention can be kept in a homogeneous liquid phase without causing separation in two layers even when it is stored for a long period of time at a relatively high temperature. In addition, there is no generation of rust on the wall of the aerosol container, and the insecticidally active ingredients remain stable.
Accordingly, the insecticidal aerosol of the present invention can be used as they are and requires no previous shaking at the time of application, and also they can exhibit an excellent effect as an insecticide.
Each of the pyrethroidal compounds belonging to the foregoing groups I and II used as the insecticidally active ingredient has steric and optical isomers. And these isomers and their mixtures may be used in the present invention.
The insecticidally active ingredient is usually blended in the aerosol in an amount of 0.01 to 2% by weight, preferably 0.03 to 1% by weight based on the total weight of the aerosol.
Specific examples of the buffer solutions are:
ammonium benzoate-NaOH buffer solution,
sodium benzoate-benzoic acid buffer solution,
ammonium benzoate-ammonia buffer solution,
ammonium benzoate-benzoic acid buffer solution,
KH2 PO4 -NaOH buffer solution,
NaOH-sodium bimaleate buffer solution,
tris.maleate*-NaOH buffer solution and
* mixture of tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane and maleic acid
Na2 CI3 -NaHCO3 buffer solution.
The buffer solution is incorporated in the aerosol in an amount of 10 to 55% by weight, preferably from 20 to 50% by weight based on the total weight of the aerosol.
The amount of dimethyl ether, a propellant, used is usually from 10 to 80% by weight, preferably from 30 to 60% by weight based on the total weight of the aerosol.
The amount of the organic solvent used is usually from 10 to 70% by weight, preferably from 18 to 40% by weight.
In the insecticidal aerosols of the present invention, surface active agents, synergists, perfumes, fungicides, etc. may be used together if necessary.
As the synergists, conventional ones such as piperonyl butoxide, S-421, MGK-264, Synepirin, etc. may be used.
The insecticidal aerosols of the present invention maybe prepared, for example, by the following method: Prescribed amounts of the insecticidally active ingredient, organic solvents and if necesssary, surface active agents, synergists, perfumes, fungicides, etc. are mixed at room temperature or under heating and put in an aerosol container; a prescribed amount of the buffer solution having a prescribed pH value is added, and the base liquid for aerosol thus obtained is conditioned so as to have a pH in a range of from 7.0 to 9.0; and after mounting a valve portion on the aerosol container, dimethyl ether is charged into the container under pressure through the valve portion.
The present invention will be illustrated in more detail with reference to the following examples and comparative examples, but it is not limited to these examples.
In the following examples, parts mean a part by weight.

EXAMPLE 15
An aerosol was prepared in the same manner as in Example 12 except that tripropylene glycol methyl ether was used in place of isopropyl alcohol.
The insecticidal aerosol of the present invention thus prepared was stored at 45° C. for 3 months. Then the aerosol in the container was observed. It was found that the aerosol was not recognized to be separated, remaining homogeneous and transparent. The content of allethrin in the aerosol was determined by gas chromatography in the same manner as in Example 1 and compared with the content which had been determined immediately after preparation of the aerosol. As a result, the percentage of the remainder of allethrin was found to be 93.8%.
The generation of rust on the wall of the aerosol container was not observed.
COMPARATIVE EXAMPLE 8
An aerosol was prepared in the same manner as in Example 12 except that hexylene glycol was used in place of isopropyl alcohol.
The insecticidal aerosol thus obtained was stored at 45° C. for 3 months. Then the content of allethrin in the aerosol was determined by gas chromatography as in Example 1 and compared with the content which had been determined immediately after preparation of the aerosol. As a result, the percentage of the remainder of allethrin was found to be 79.8%.
COMPARATIVE EXAMPLE 9
An aerosol was prepared in the same manner as in Example 12 except that methyl cellosolve was used in place of isopropyl alcohol.
The insecticidal aerosol thus obtained was stored at 45° C. for 3 months. Then the content of allethrin in the aerosol was determined by gas chromatography in the same manner as in Example 1 and compared with the content which had been determined immediately after preparation of the aerosol. As a result, the percentage of the remainder of allethrin was found to be 76.3%.
